January 30th, 1894 - October 17th, 1975

She is a Pisces.

Mary Graham Carmichael Farquharson was born in Edinburgh, Scotland as the only surviving child of Frank Farquharson (1860 - 1928), a carpenter, and Jessie Janet Davidson Carmichael (1866 - 1952), a dressmaker. Her father hailed from Aboyne, Aberdeenshire and her mother Edinburgh and they were married around 1893. She and her parents left Scotland from Glasgow on April 21st, 1900 aboard the Anchor Line's City of Rome, travelling as 2nd class passengers, and they settled in Manhattan, New York appearing there on the 1905 and 1910 censuses. Her mother and her aunt, Margaret Graham Wheelock (née Carmichael) later established a successful modiste business, Farquharson & Wheelock at West 57th Street, New York.

Aboard Titanic/April 14th-15th, 1912:
Mary was married in Manhattan on January 8th, 1912 to Daniel Warner Marvin (born 1894), the son of a motion picture production house founder. Their marriage wasn't filmed, but the ceremony was restaged for the camera on March 12th at the home of Mary's parents, Riverside Drive. The London Daily Mirror reported "cinematographed". They later honeymooned in Europe, departing aboard Mauretania, and their return to the USA they boarded the RMS Titanic at Southampton as first class passengers. They occupied cabin D-30.

On the night of the sinking, Daniel assisted Mary to a lifeboat with the words "it's alright, little girl. You go. I will stay." Daniel died in the sinking and his body, if recovered, was never identified.

After The Sinking/Later Life/Death:
Upon her arrival in New York aboard the RMS Carpathia, realising all hope of her husband's rescue was now gone, she collapsed with grief. She later recuperated at the home of her parents. Perhaps unaware she had been pregnant at the time of the sinking, she gave birth to a daughter named Mary Margaret "Peggy" (Later Mrs. Wheaton Kittredge) on October 21st, 1912. She began a courtship with Horace Silliman DeCamp (October 22nd, 1886), a native of Canastota, New York who was engaged in the lumber business and who was previously acquainted with Daniel and his family. They had met at her mother-in-law's holiday home at the Adirondacks and their engagement was announced in August of 1913. They were wed on Christmas Day in 1913 at the Harlem Presbyterian Church, 5 West 125th Street, New York. They honeymooned in Egypt and upon their return to the USA lived in a newly purchased house in Great Neck, along Island.

The couple were shown on the 1920-1940 census living in Manhattan but spent a great deal of time at their home in Old Forge, Herkimer, New York as well as being frequent travellers across the Atlantic. They had 2 children: Julia Janet (1915 - 1983; Later Mrs. Bruce Wisner Winpenny) and Frank Graham (1920 - 2000) and in 1916 Horace adopted Mary's child from her first marriage. Horace died on July 14th, 1954. She chose not to discuss the Titanic disaster as it upset her too much. She spent her last years living at Birch Road in Thendora, Herkimer, New York but died in the hospital on October 17th, 1975 at the age of 81 and was buried with her husband in Riverside Cemetery, Old Forge, Herkimer. Her daughter from her first marriage died on October 7th, 1993 in Massachusetts.
